According to USA Today, the burger stands tall on an artisan pretzel bun and is topped with thick-cut crispy bacon, warm Cheddar cheese sauce, lettuce, red onion, tomato, and a layer of honey mustard. The fast-food chain decided to release the burger nationwide after a successful test run in northeastern Ohio. Spokesman Denny Lynch said that the pretzel burger ranked among the top-performing menu items Wendy's has tested.

At the moment, Wendy's is the only chain in the competitive burger landscape serving up a burger on a pretzel roll. "This is the most anticipated new product in recent history," said Craig Bahner, Wendy's chief marketing officer.

The premium burger is expected to be offered at all Wendy's locations within two weeks of June 24, and is intended to be a limited-time offer. However, fans are already speculating that this one is enough of a winner to land itself a permanent spot on Wendy's menu.
